The Bell Rings
The now three popular girls gathered inside the female locker room so to change into their PE uniforms which consisted on a navy blue short and a white 'MB' initialed t-shirt. They couldn't help but to hate the class
"It's not as if we're NOT fit" 18 complained. Chichi laughed hard
"Oh 18!" she exclaimed between giggles "us? Unfit! Now that's funny!" she laughed again. 18 joined in with the laughter. Bulma stared at them serious. Was this a joke and she just happened to miss the 'funny' part in it?
"Hey girls!" none other than beautiful Christine Brooks walked up to them. The girls smiled at her
"Hey Christine, you look so much thinner this year! Been on a diet lately?" asked Chichi as the brown haired girl fixed her long tresses into a messy ponytail. She smirked
"Not really. Just the usual: lots of sex, lots of parties and most important…lots of drinks!" she winked at them. Chichi and 18 exchanged a look. Bulma could tell they were thinking badly of her. She sighed. She wanted to get outta there so bad…
"I'll see you guys on the field" the brunette leaned in as if to tell a secret "Vegeta's gonna be out there. I need to look my best" she winked again walking out the door. Chichi and 18 broke into more laughter as soon as Christine was out of sight
"THINNER!" 18 exclaimed loudly as if it was absurd that Chichi had the guts to call her that. Chichi sighed
"I know but I couldn't find anything positive to say-"
"Chi you only say she's thinner when she's at least last year's weight. She's like a hundred pounds heavier this year" the girls snickered. 18 looked at Bulma as if waiting for her to join in. Bulma stood there with her serious expression clearly showing them she wasn't going to budge. 18 furrowed her brows
"What's wrong with you?" she asked sounding 'concerned'. Of course she wasn't, she just wanted a new topic to gossip about
"Nothing" Bulma lied good enough for the girls buy it
"Whatever let's just get out there. Guys are waiting for us" 18 giggled along with Chichi. The girls held hands, 18 grabbing Bulma's before walking outside together. Bulma breathed profoundly. God knows what new 'fascinating' scenario awaits me she couldn't help to think…
"We need defense for a touchdown. Krillin can make the throw and Vegeta can earn the forty yards. Whatever happens, the ball is going to Vegeta. Stay strong on the'd' so he can run it down. Alright ready…BREAK!" the team, consisting of eleven players, separated ready to make the play happen. Football; playing it was like breathing to them…they couldn't live without it…
"Blue THIRTY FIVE!" yelled Krillin bent over behind the player with the ball that was assigned to pass it to him
"Blue THIRTY FIVE!" he yelled again "hut…HUT! HUT!" the guys got into motion. Krillin got a hold of the ball. Goku and Raditz cleared the way for him to make the throw. Krillin raised his arm to throw the ball but the play was going so fast he couldn't see Yamcha running towards him at great speed. In a swift movement Yamcha crushed himself against Krillin. The pair lay on the floor Krillin's eyes shut tight as pain went all the way to his head
"YEAH!" Yamcha screamed as if he had done the greatest of plays. Krillin tried cussing at him but his knee was throbbing not letting him react any other way but to hold it
"SHIT! Oh man!" he held his knee close to him. Goku and Raditz immediately ran towards him. Vegeta who was far from them waiting for the throw directed himself to the small group starting to gather round…
-c-c-c-c
"…I don't know what I'm gonna do after school. I bet Krillin wants to go to eat-"
"Well? So go with him" suggested Chichi as the threesome strolled down the football turf in their tiny shorts and tight shirts. Bulma had not been ok with wearing such small clothes but Chichi and 18 had pretty much forced her to do it. She had done it just to get them to stop whining. She felt uncomfortable however. Most of the students out on the turf were males and they were undressing them with just their eyes. She tried hard not to look at them
"Chi? You forgot didn't you?" 18 asked annoyed. Bulma came back to the conversation
"Forgot what?" asked Chichi. 18 stopped dead on her tracks the other two following her
"Chichi today is our first cheerleading practice" 18 replied. Chichi gasped
"It is?" she covered her mouth as if she had forgotten. 18 shook her head in disbelief and anger
"I mean it is" said Chichi in her usual peppy tone. 18 breathed out
"Never mind" she waved a hand in the air "it's not like I can ever count on you when it comes to important stuff like this is" she said. Chichi rolled her eyes
"Quit making such a big deal about it" she said "I knew we had practice today. I just forgot the time" she lied…not that 18 was listening really. The blonde was distracted with all the commotion going on out on the field
"What happened?" asked Bulma watching the scene. Chichi tried to see where the turmoil was coming from and her heart sunk when she identified her boyfriend in the middle it
"That's Goku!" she took off both her friends following behind her…
"Excuse me…gross don't touch me! Your hands are dirty! Get away! I can't breathe! It's so hot in here….ugh get your disgusting body away from mine! Ew you're touching me!-" Bulma and 18 decided to stay out of the crowd watching as Chichi struggled to get in desperate to get to Goku. Bulma looked around and happened to spot Vegeta; he too had decided to stay out of the crowd. His body was drenched in sweat…an intriguing sight to Bulma. It wasn't about how wet he was or how dirty even. It was his body in spandex. Bulma understood, now, the whole 'women drool over me' perspective. If she didn't have her pride she'd definitely be a part of that pack…
The spandex fitted his legs perfectly; his muscles bulged beneath the material flawlessly; his ass looked hard-rock built. Just then he took off his helmet giving her a nice view of his cute little face. His cheekbones were decorated with black paint, his arms were tanned from the sun and rock built from the training. The shirt he wore cut off a little lower from his chest giving her a clear view of his abs. She never knew the stomach could have so many abs. The muscles there weren't rough or beefy; they were lean and fit. His waist small for a man but he seemed to move with it precisely. Then his ass, the most perfectly built body structure he had. Bulma couldn't help but to stare at it indiscreetly. Was it even possible to be this faultless!
Vegeta noticed Bulma staring at him. He gave her a smirk to let her know he had seen her. Bulma turned away her nose high in the air. Of course he wouldn't leave it at just that. Vegeta walked towards her before she had a chance to leave the field…
"Don't even try woman" he said approaching her. Bulma attempted to ignore him by turning away from him. Vegeta decided to try again
"Like what you see?" he teased. Bulma faced him now
"Do you mind telling me what you mean by 'what I see'? I'm sure as hell I don't see anything out of the ordinary" she replied with arrogance. Vegeta chuckled in his cruel tone
"You wish. Truth is you're dying for me-"
"As if!-"
"All I gotta do is sit back and relax. You'll come to me eventually. I'm gonna have fun with other women while I wait for you" he smirked confidently. Bulma narrowed her eyes at him
"I am not vulnerable. You keep forgetting I am not like other women" she said clearly "there's nothing I enjoy more than proving people wrong. You wanna try me? Do it. I dare you to" she smirked at him
"Any day, any time" he gave her a death glare. She sighed tired of his attitude
"Look" said Bulma "I don't what it is you're expecting of me but the only thing you can hope for is my friendship and you're kind of hanging on the line there pal" she said clearly. Vegeta was about to respond when Chichi broke in the conversation
"Oh my God! It's Krillin-"
"Torn ACL for sure; PCL is tentative" Vegeta said leaving both women slightly impressed. Chichi furrowed her brows
"How do you know?" she asked as Vegeta searched for Goku with his eyes
"Because I tore them both a couple of years ago and his symptoms are the same as mine-Kakarot!" he left the two women to speculate about what he had just explained. The two girls exchanged a look
"That was smart!" said Chichi. Bulma nodded agreeing
"It was. What's gonna happen now? Will he be out for long?" she asked. Chichi looked to the ground
"They'll take him to an orthopedist. Their season can go down the drain for this. I wonder what coach Foley will say when he finds out. Krillin's the only decent quarterback we have…"
Change of Scene: Goku, Raditz and Vegeta are in Mark Foley's office, their coach, giving him the bad news…
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" a yell came out the coach's office "playing football on PE! Are you fucking insane! What am I gonna do with you guys? Krillin was the only good quarterback we had! What the hell am I gonna do without him! You tell me since you're all having some great ideas today!" he yelled his heart out. The guys stood before him just as clueless as he was. Then a magnificent idea came to Foley out of nowhere
"You" he pointed his finger at Vegeta "you can be my new quarterback" he said looking demented
"No way" Vegeta replied quickly. The coach stood from his seat
"You can leave now" he said to the others "Ouji stay" he ordered. Vegeta grunted angry that he had to stay. Goku and Raditz left the room quietly leaving Vegeta and the coach in solitude so they could discuss this new idea...
"Ouji I'm begging here" said the coach returning to his seat "you played QB 'til last year. Everyone knows you're good at both-"
"I'm going to enter the draft as a wide-receiver next summer. Two high school seasons in the position is stretching it. The numbers aren't enough to convince anyone unless I break records. I'm not playing quarterback!" he refused angrily. The coach banged his hand on his desk
"Shit Vegeta they're going to kill us if I leave Basher on the line up! Everyone knows you can do it. I need you in both rotations!"
"I'm not going to play quarterback!" Vegeta reaffirmed "who's going to be the wide-receiver captain? Who's going to do it better than me! I'm not throwing the ball to a fucking idiot that doesn't know how to catch it-"
"We have better wide-receivers than quarterbacks-"
"I don't give a shit" Vegeta cut off "my job is to run the yards, cover the ball and score the points. You have no one that can do that better than me-"
"We'll train them to-"
"Fuck that! If I want something done right I'm gonna do it myself-"
"Who the hell is going to throw you the ball Vegeta!" Foley stood from his seat as their argument heated up "do you prefer some dumbass throwing the ball wrong so you'll miss all your catches and-"
"That's why I'm the best wide receiver right now! I make the throws good no matter what they are!" he said loudly. Foley scoffed
"Bullshit! The team does not need a good wide-receiver right now. We need a good quarterback. If you don't play quarterback you're not starting" the coach threatened. Vegeta shrugged his shoulders
"Very well, then. Let's see how you do without your best player on the field…"
The Bell Rings - School's Out
Bulma walked to her car by herself with some of her books pressed lightly against her chest. The white sunglasses she wore combined with the white Jeep Liberty that her parents had gotten for her two months ago as a birthday present. It was the last birthday she had celebrated in Miami before moving all the way to California…
As she neared her car she noticed a blue latest edition BMW convertible parked aside it. The sunroof was down and a certain guy with spiky black hair was seating on the bumper of it drinking the contents out of a dark shaped bottle with silver 'Oakley' sunglasses, a gray tank top and some black basketball shorts. She rolled her eyes
"Not him again" she moaned to herself balancing the books she had on one hand so to have the other one free to unlock her car. The car beeped as she pressed the unlock button on the key chain making Vegeta look up to see who was approaching his spot. He turned back to whatever he was doing taking another big gulp of what she could now identify as Corona Extra beer. She sighed walking through the side opposite to the driver's seat to settle her books and her school bag on the back seat. Once done she turned to him
"Aren't you supposed to be at practice? I saw your friends down there" she said. Vegeta grunted
"The coach wants me to change positions and play quarterback. I'm not starting if I don't" he said. Bulma stood to his side
"I don't think that's a good enough reason to miss practice. And you're an athlete. That's bad for your health" she signaled the bottle of beer in his hand. Vegeta drank the half of beer left in one gulp then threw the bottle in front of him where a wasted six pack of beers was trashed. Bulma shook her head in disappointment
"Way to save the environment" she said sarcastically. He scoffed not really caring to say anything about it
"Why don't you?" Vegeta asked. Bulma furrowed her brows
"Why don't I what?" she questioned. Vegeta tsked
"Why don't you think it's a reason to miss practice? I'm not starting" he said. Bulma pulled her sunglasses up so they could hold her hair back like a small barrette would do
"I think it's immature. When it comes to being the best at something I say you do what you have to do. I bet you know within you that you have to play quarterback if you want to win a national championship this year" she said actually making him think about it "but that's just me I guess" she shook her head "I don't really know how things work in sports. I'm good at being smart" she smiled. Vegeta nodded locking eyes with her
"Aren't you supposed to be cheering for me? Your practice was today too. You're missing it" he slightly changed the subject. Bulma blew a raspberry
"That's not for me. I hang out with those girls and everything but I'm not as perky and enthusiastic as they are. Besides I think cheerleading is just plain dumb" she said. Vegeta took his sunglasses off his beautiful black orbs shinning with the reflection of the sun. He looked pretty sober for how much he had drink
"If I practice would you do it?" he asked making her blush slightly. Bulma raised a brow
"Since when does it all depend on me?" she smiled. Vegeta smirked at her
"Since now. I'll go back if you cheer for me" he proposed. Bulma looked around thinking about it then turned back to him
"So we're both putting what's important to us on the line?" she figured. Vegeta was going to give up his position and Bulma was going to give up her pride. Vegeta nod once staring into her eyes with a penetrating gaze that was enough to melt her heart. Bulma let the deep silence work to her favor as she thought about what she was getting herself into
"Fine, deal" she presented her hand to him so they could shake on it. Vegeta grabbed it then pulled her to him
"Why do you want me to play? This team can win on its own" he said as their faces became closer. Bulma raised a brow
"Why do want me to cheer for you? Those girls are good as they are right now" she said. He smirked at her
"I have to get to practice. We're meeting at my house tonight. Everyone's coming" he let go of her. Bulma pulled a strand of her hair behind her ear
"You're not planning on going to practice like this are you? Your mind's not stable right now" she noted. Vegeta unrest himself from the bumper of his car walking through the driver's side to pull out a big black bag that had cleats hanging to one of the sides. Bulma figured it was his football stuff. He chuckled at her innocence pressing the lock buttons on his car so it would automatically close itself. He then walked through Bulma's side
"Watch me" he directed himself to the football field which was right across the parking lot. Bulma watched him walk all unbalanced and careless
"Be careful!" she screamed making him wave a hand in the air as he kept walking on. She breathed out
"What a careless man. I dunno how he's the best a high school football player and prospect" she spoke to herself unlocking her car again since it automatically locked itself two minutes after being unlocked. Not seconds passed before she was out of there…
"Mom I'm home!" Bulma screamed from the entrance of the Brief mansion as she settled her glasses and car keys on the little decorative table beside the door. Her mom, who was out on the balcony, came inside the house in no time a cheerful smile plastered on her face as she watched her daughter come up the stairs
"Well hello darling. How was your day?" she asked. Bulma sighed gloomily
"It was good" she opened the door to her room which was the first one to the left. Her mom followed her in
"Why the sad face then?" she asked. Bulma set her backpack on the carpeted floor then threw herself on her comfortable bed still in her uniform. Her mother took a seat beside her
"Mind telling me what's wrong?" she insisted. Bulma sat up
"I really miss home, mom. This school is just weird" she said. Her mom caressed her face
"Oh honey. Did you make any friends?" she asked. Bulma shrugged her shoulders
"Well sort of. These girls befriended me because I'm rich but they dislike everyone that's not. I just don't feel too attracted to the idea of spending the rest of the semester here" she pouted. Her mom smiled
"Bulma I'm sure you'll find someone that will want to be your friend no matter what" said her mother. Bulma sighed
"I don't know. These girls are the kind that make you regret it if you avoid them, you know?" she said. Her mother sighed
"Oh well you can't do much about that. It's just immaturity. What about that boy that lives nearby?" she asked
"He's our neighbor mom and he turned out to be this complete asshole! I don't think we're gonna get along. Though he can be nice when he wants to be" she said thoughtful. Her mom smiled
"There are other people in this school that are nice. You just have to find them" she said
"There are some-"
"And I bet you will have no problems honey. Go take a shower and study. Dinner will be served at six" her mother stood from her bed. Bulma looked up at her
"There's something going on tonight at his house. He invited me over" she said. Her mom widened her eyes with a wide smile
"There you go! You see? You're going to have a wonderful time. I'll tell Laura to save dinner for you, ok?" she said chirpily. Bulma nod with a smile
"K. Thanks mom!" she said as her mom exited the room. Bulma sighed and looked at her surroundings finding the window to her room. She decided to look thought out of boredom never expecting to see what she had seen. Vegeta's parents were arguing to death
"I told you to take it yesterday damn it! Now I have to take it myself! Why can't you be useful! Just for once in your life do something that's worthwhile!-"
"Like you're fucking useful you low excuse for a woman!-"
"Who are you calling low excuse for a woman? It's not my fault you missed out when intelligence it was made-"
"AH! Fuck off!"
"Every time I want something done right I can't count on you because you're so fucking stupid!"
The insults kept going one after the other. Bulma decided to step back inside her room. Maybe what she was looking at was not intended for her to see. Still she wondered about them…but most of all about Vegeta. Maybe that was the answer as to why he was the way he was. Maybe his background had shaped him into the person he had become…or not?
End Ch.5. Well what do you think? Peeps! I'm so glad to be back! Now that we're on spring break, I will try my best to at least release one or two more chapters. This is the only free time I get (…sorry o.O) I apologize for the waiting. Every second I had free I would sit down and work on this chapter. Apparently that time was not enough 'cause I didn't come out to finish it until right now. Guys I will keep working hard on this one because I know how much you like it and how much you miss updating. But as hard as it is to wait, I'm so sorry that because of me you're gonna have to because my stupid college is all about reading books and novels of like four hundred and eighty five pages and unfortunately, I haven't had the time to release and organize. But now I'm uploading, hopefully a new chappie of 'What You Wish For' will be out soon! That's all for now. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to all the people that will keep supporting my stories no matter what…I LOVE you ALL! Hope you're all ok. Take care and stay tuned for the next chapter which will hopefully come out soon!
Love;
PL
